Antrim – Bawa

Antrim from Argentina brings us his own style of feel good, groove based progressive techno music with this absolutely brilliant three track EP available on Sudbeat. The whole EP has a defined style and accomplished production values that hold the attention of the listener superbly. ‘Bawa’ is the opening track which plays with those upbeat and positive vibes that make you want to dance. This is a fantastic track which oozes with energy and the infectious rhythm is impossible to ignore.

The vocal soar in and out of the mix, adding the personable feel to the track and connecting the listener to the festival sounding atmosphere that the instruments sit within. The ambience around the vocal is so cool, I love listening to ethereal vocals that drift off in to the distance. The drums are well produced, crisp and punchy, which form a strong backdrop for the rest of the instruments to sit on. The bass is rounded and warm, the synth riff is almost a percussive tone the scratches and slides over the rhythm section with precision and swing. The softer pad sounds are a great contrast to the rest of the instruments that are slightly more aggressive, so these pads create a welcome difference to the sonic balance. The EP also features the tracks ‘Confused’ and ‘Jadidat’ which are worth checking out also.
